It is inevitable for someone to go through life and not ever have to feel the unfortunate feeling of grief. Eden Robinson provides a heart wrenching novel that gives readers the feeling of hope and doubt all at once. When a tragedy strikes it is in those moments that people show their true character.

All families are distinctive, but several have several of the same qualities. After watching the television show, Parenthood, I discovered that my family is a lot like one of the families in the show, the Bravermans. Both families are similar and one example is that we take on an appearance of having it all together, when in reality we are extremely dysfunctional. Not to mention, we are comparable in ways that the characters from the show resemble members of my family, and how both families respond to tragedy. Seeing connections to another family are constant reminders for me that we are all analogous in some way, shape, or form.

Morrie sympathizes and touches those he has not met in person. With a personality like Morrie’s, this seemingly simple question asked on Nightline is difficult to answer.

On Wednesday, January 25 at 10: 30, I interviewed Stephanie Moret, a graduate student at Northern Arizona University. Ms. Moret is an English major, with her specific graduate program being Rhetoric, Writing and Digital Media. Her thesis focuses on how using social media could solve problems with understaffing, specifically in her hometown.

She will help with their social media and marketing department, as well as overseeing their aquatics department. I met Ms. Moret my first semester at NAU in English 105, where she instructed me on how to write a wide variety of essays both individually and collaboratively. I chose to interview Ms. Moret because I am currently unaware as to what I want to do career wise, however, I know that I will be

Many mothers plan their children and are overjoyed when they discover they are with child; others are surprised, and perhaps not as pleased. However, not many can say they became pregnant when they have never had sex.

Due to the nature of the main character's situation, the topic of sex, virginity, and conception is often discussed, as well as what it means to be a virgin. Although virginity has historically been viewed through a traditional Christian context, Jane the Virgin has given the term a new meaning with a non-traditional and modern day
